CRAI CAR G NSP

Shares of Insperity, Inc. (NSP - Free Report) have rallied 19.9% in the past three-month period, primarily on solid top-line growth and investor-friendly steps.

Reasons for Upside

Insperity’s top-line growth is directly proportional to the rise in the average number of worksite employees paid per month. Revenues of $1.43 billion for second-quarter 2022 increased 20.2% year over year. The upside was backed by a 1.2% increase in revenues per worksite employee (WSEE) and a 19.4% increase in paid worksite employees.

In 2021, total revenues of $4.97 billion increased 16% year over year on the back of an 8% increase in revenues per worksite employees and a 7% increase in paid worksite employees. Average number of worksite employees paid per month were 250,745 at the end of 2021. Worksite employee growth is being driven by strength across sales, higher client retention and a rise in net hiring of worksite employees by Insperity’s client base.

Insperity makes consistent efforts to reward its shareholders. In 2021, NSP repurchased 716,000 shares for $69.7 million and paid out dividends totaling $144.2 million. During 2020, NSP repurchased 1.4 million shares for $99.4 million and paid out dividends totaling $61.9 million.
